Wednesday's MLB Best Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Detroit Tigers at Houston Astros

Starting off today's slate we have the Detroit Tigers taking on the Houston Astros in Game 2 after the Tigers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, extinguishing Houston's ninth-inning rally to win Game 1 of the Wild Card series, 3-1. The Tigers were fortunate enough to have Tarik Skubal take the bump yesterday, but today they're sending opener Tyler Holton to the bump. Holton hasn't pitched past three innings in his nine starts this year but he has been solid when he has been on the mound. Owning a 1.54 road ERA, the southpaw owns a 1.06 ERA in the past month while limiting opponents to a .113 batting average the first time through the order. I'm not so sure about the end of the game but I feel confident in predicting a slow start for the Astros again. For the Tigers, it's a different story. Hunter Brown earns the start for Houston and he often struggles early before settling in. He owns a 6.37 first-inning ERA, and a 4.34 mark in the 2nd inning, before it drops to 1.80 in the 3rd and 1.86 in the 4th, respectively. With Matt Vierling's past success against Brown, and how he should get a pair of at-bats in the early innings, I expect him to lead the way to an early Tigers lead. After that, it's anyone's guess.  

Parlay Odds: +480

Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles

Next up on the docket, we have the Baltimore Orioles trying to hold off the Kansas City Royals as they aim to keep their hopes alive by sending Zach Eflin to the bump. The Royals counter with Seth Lugo. After a 1-0 game it may be tempting to run and take the Over, expecting positive regression. However, there just seems to be something about this Orioles team that struggles in the postseason. They got swept last year against the Rangers and yesterday barely managed any threat of offense. Seth Lugo has been stellar of late, with a 2.28 ERA in his last five starts leading up to the playoff. Still, Kansas City wasn't an offensive powerhouse either, and Eflin has been solid in his last 30.0 IP as well, carrying a 3.00 ERA. Someone I will bet on is Bobby Witt Jr. and with his odds at -115 to get two or more total bases, that's a steal. Not only is he obviously an elite talent, but he matches up well with Eflin, going 3-for-6 with a double and triple. Multiple bases should be easy. To round it out, I see the more experienced members of the Orioles stepping up to bring home the postseason victory that's been eluding them of late. 

Parlay Odds: +660

New York Mets at Milwaukee Brewers

After taking the early lead yesterday, Milwaukee squandered it and fell to the Mets, 8-4. Now, they try to stave off elimination by sending Frankie Montas to the bump as Sean Manaea starts for the Mets. To start, I'm playing matchups. Brice Turang may be going against another lefty but he has been a clean 3-for-3 off Manaea. The southpaw also has opposite splits against lefties, allowing them to hit better than righties. Starling Marte has hit Frankie Montas just as well and Montas has been struggling recently. He owns a 5.55 ERA in his last five starts and has an ERA over 5.00 ERA against the Mets. With his struggles and the Mets ranking in the top 10 in runs scored over the final month of play, I expect them to score a lot of runs and build on their momentum from the last week to take this. Whether it's Lindor staying hot or Jesse Winker finding life again, I expect the Mets to pull off the upset here.   

Parlay Odds: +575

Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres

We're keeping it simple for the final SGP with two plus-odds lines. After last night’s performance, it seems less like Atlanta is building any momentum and more so running out of steam. After only tallying seven hits with just one extra-base hit, it's tough to trust this Braves offense. They went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and struck out 15 times. The early parts of each order however are matched up well with the opposing starters. Marcell Ozuna has seen Joe Musgrove 17 times with a .979 OPS while Luis Arraez is 4-for-8 against Max Fried with Manny Machado owning a career homer off Fried. Overall, the Padres fare better in this one and I expect them to handle business on the way to the next round.
